INVESTIGATIONS IN THE LENGTH AND ANGLE MEASUREMENTS

V. Giniotis

Abstract

The paper deals with a short review of length and angle measurements from the stage of linear and circular scales production and calibration to the process of mounting them into the rotary encoders and linear translational transducers with subsequent calibration and, finally, a calibration of the informational measuring systems assembled into the automatic technological and measurement equipment, as co-ordinate measuring machines. Systematic pitch errors and uncertainty of the scales calibration are determined before using them for measurement systems of the machines. A systematic error compensation is chosen by mechanical, numerical or mechatronic means. Some examples and the results of compensation are presented.
